Question

Place each of the following sets in ascending order.

3/7, -6/7, 1/7, -1/2, 2/7

Answer 1

-6/7, -1/2, 1/7, 2/7, 3/7

Answer 2

You need these fractions over a common denominator, like 14 which is 2*7
then you original list is (numerators only, all denominators 14
6 , -12, 2, -7, 4

so in ascending order the numerators over the common denominator 14 are

-12, -7, 2, 4, 6, (remember the -7/14 is from -1/2)

so put back original denominators
-6/7 , -1/2 , 1/7 , 2/7 , 3/7
